Acupuncture
and Oriental Medicine Day is observed annually on October 24. It is part
of an effort designed to increase public awareness of the progress, promise,
and benefits of acupuncture and Oriental medicine. An
estimated 36% of U.S. adults use some form of complementary and alternative
medicine (CAM), according to a survey by the National Center for Complementary
and Alternative Medicine, a component of the National Institutes of Health.
When megavitamin therapy and prayer specifically for health reasons is
included in the definition of CAM, the number of U.S. adults using some
form of CAM in the past year rises to 62%. Among the common CAM practices
identified by the survey were acupuncture, acupressure, herbal medicine,
tai chi and qi gong. A
survey by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine found that approximately one in ten adults had received
acupuncture at least one time and 60% said they would readily consider
acupuncture as a potential treatment option. Nearly half (48%) of the
individuals surveyed who had received acupuncture reported that they were
extremely satisfied or very satisfied with their treatment. In addition,
one in five (21%) of the total NCCAOM survey respondents reported that
they had utilized some other form of Oriental medicine besides acupuncture,
such as herbs or bodywork (e.g., shiatsu). These
studies and others like them clearly demonstrate that CAM therapies such
as acupuncture and Oriental medicine are common practice in today's health
care system. They also support the need for consumers to be provided accurate
and reliable information regarding their treatment options.
